I found this book to be quite engaging. I anticipated one of the twists early on, which I appreciated. However, I was disappointed that the narrative did not explore the twist as deeply as it could have. While I would recommend this book to others, I do not see myself revisiting it.

The first half was pretty good. I thought it was different from most thriller books with the readers already knowing the killer and knowing the stakes. However, the second half was awful. It felt like the author was just throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what stuck so we got a lot of unnecessary plot points, like the love triangle and Sam being sexually assaulted.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for a great adult suspense novel, and, boy, did Edelweiss provide me with one!
Back in the 80's, policeman Edward Shank became a hero and eventually the police chief for gunning down "The Beacon Hill Butcher." The serial killer targeted women and had a grisly signature--cutting off a hand.
Now it's modern times and Edward's grandson inherits the family home with the Chief moving into a retirement village. Matt is a young chef focused on making it big in the foodie world of Seattle. He's already been on the Food Network for his food trucks and now hopes to have a reality show based in his restaurant. He's dating Sam, who is writing another true crime book--this time about the Beacon Hill Butcher, mainly because she believes her own mother was killed by the Butcher a few years after he was supposedly killed. What really happened that night?
This is full of tight twists, plenty of suspense, and will keep you reading until you finish it. Plus, you'll like Matt and Sam, which makes the storyline move even faster!
